In the mean time, Microsoft is working on a new mid-range smartphone that will slot in below the Lumia 950. The Lumia 650 has been rumored for quite some time, but Microsoft has never made any official comments on the device. However, the existence of the Lumia 650 has been confirmed by Microsoft Chief Marketing Officer Chris Capossela.

Capossela, speaking with Mary Jo Foley and Paul Thurrott on Windows Weekly, was asked when the device would be released. And instead of ignoring the question or giving a boilerplate “we don’t comment on announced products” statement, Capossela confirmed that the Lumia 650 hasn’t been given a definite release date at this point.

Although Capossela was reticent to giving any launch details for the Lumia 650, it’s possible that we could see an announcement at the Mobile World Congress, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain in late February. The Lumia 640/640 XL were announced at the same event last year, so it’s within the realm of possibility for Microsoft to announce its successor around the same timeframe.
